1995: Rapid snowmelt, due to warm temperatures, caused widespread flooding of streams, low areas, and farmland. Many roads were covered with water and some were washed out. Some utility poles and lines were damaged. Some schools, houses, and other buildings were damaged by high water levels. Day County was especially hit hard, with damage to roads alone estimated at $75,000. In addition, ice jams exacerbated the flooding on some culverts and streams.

1993: The "Storm of the Century" roared to life over the Gulf of Mexico. The storm would become the costliest non-tropical storm in U.S. history up to that time. As the storm hit Florida a tornado struck Chiefland killing three people and injuring ten.

2006: 49 tornadoes swarmed across the Midwest, with 38 of them in Missouri. The strongest was an F4 that destroyed homes near Paris, MO. An F3 that paralleled I-40 near Springfield, MO caused $50,000,000 damage.
